Hold the lance at the normal working height and spray into the bottle while
walking the distance required to spray an area corresponding to 25m². Place
the bottle on a level surface and observe the liquid level visible through the
side of the bottle. Match the liquid level to the corresponding scale on the
calibrator bottle. Empty the bottle and repeat this operation to
determine the average of two or more readings.


After nishing the spray application, take a shower with plenty of water and


Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues. Some
publications show that somewhere around 0.3% of the chemicals remains in
the container after being used. Therefore, discarding the containers without
washing out the residues is extremely dangerous to humans, animals and
the environment.

In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical containers, each container
must be rinsed three times to ensure the residues are completely removed.
This manual describes how to make the TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and
effective way.

During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use appropriate protective clothing,
such as: gloves, apron, boots, goggles and protective masks with
appropriate lters.
TRIPLE WASH OF EMPTY
COMMERCIAL SERIES


IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, you must keep it with the opening upside
down over the sprayer tank opening or over the bucket that you are using to prepare the
chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds, until no residue is left in the container, when the
drops are falling in long intervals.
1 Next, hold the container in the upright position and ll it with water up to ¼.
For example: in a 20-litre container, put 5 litres of water.
2 Fit the container cap and tighten it
enough to avoid leakage during the agitation.
3 Agitate the container strongly in all ways
(horizontal and vertical), during approximately 30
seconds to remove the residues that are stuck to
the container internal walls.
4 Take the container cap off and carefully pour the
rinse water into the spray tank.
5 Keep holding the container over the spray tank
opening for approximately 30 seconds to the
last drop.
6 REPEAT this operation twice more. This way, you complete the TRIPLE WASH.
7 Do not pierce the bottom with a pointed instrument as this will damage labels
for identication.

8 The useless containers can be stocked temporarily in an appropriate place, until
nal destination.
9 In the case of mid and large size container (50, 100 and 200 litres), after washing with
the appropriate volume (¼ of the total) and tting the cap, roll it on the ground during
approximately 30 seconds.
10 Then in the upright position complete the agitation
by moving back and forth for approximately 30
seconds.
11 Then, empty the container by pouring the rinse
water into the spray tank.
12 REPEAT this operation twice more. In the last one,
empty totally the container by pouring rinse the
water in the spray tank.
13 The least amount of rinse water that remains in the container, from one wash to the
next,will result in less decontamination.
14 For the performance of the TRIPLE WASH, do not use a water volume either much lower
or much higher than ¼ of the container capacity.
15 The TRIPLE WASH must be done IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying
the container, during the preparation of the solution.
